Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Rivals to lovers(2)

Taberarechaukei Danshi

Complete | narazaki souta | 2019 released

First story was lovely, one I will happily re-read. I didn’t realise there were multiple stories and didn’t bother to read the blurb or reviews for the second story, happily hoping for another enjoyable story. Nope.. the next one had rape and a photo taken after the end of that, another student forcing the uke to perform oral on him, and then, for good measure, more non consensual sex from the seme. Love was never mentioned once (not that I like stories where love = rape forgiven), it was all simply awful. I feel like I need to disinfect my memory

Umaimon Kuwasero!

Complete | Nitta Youka | 1998 released

An enjoyable old style manga about 2 highly competitive chefs and their respective careers. I didn’t really feel any good connection for them to fall in love at first but as the story progressed spanning years you could see that they were a good fit. The oneshot in the middle was a serious flop for me.
